Can someone clarify the Warning sub-section of the Copy/Delete section?

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

Can someone clarify the Warning sub-section of the Copy/Delete section?

Post by cagross »

Hi all. In the SyncBack Copy/Delete section is a checkbox that reads:

> Warn me (abort profile if unattended) if 100% or more of my Source files are going to be deleted due to my settings.

Screenshot below. I just want to be sure I understand what this means.

Let's say I enable this, and set the number to 50%. Will SyncBack warn me if I'm deleting more than 50% of the Source files in terms of number of files? Or more than 50% of the Source files in terms of disk spaceOr something else? My guess is numbber of files, but just want to be clear.

I guess I can run a few manual tests if I want to be sure.

Number of files, not size or disk space or anything else, as shown in this example:

Warn me (abort profile if unattended) if 100% or more of my source/left files are going to be deleted due to my settings: The first setting applies to all files no matter where they are, but this setting only applies to files that are in the source/left. For example: you have 10 files. 5 of them are both in the source/left and destination/right, 3 are only in the source/left and 2 are only in the destination/right. In this case 80% of your files are in the source/left (8 out of 10) and 70% (7 out of 10) are in the destination/right.
